I'm jealous of everyone ITT with a Kei car. If I had the money I would love to buy an Alto. Here in Atlanta I've been seeing a lot of imports lately - mostly R32s. The other day I saw a hilariously awful R32 with Cambered rear wheels that were basically riding on the tire's sidwall. Also he had "DUB" spray painted on the gigantic aftermarket radiator. Anyways if any of you guys in the area want to let me drive your Kei cars hmu

Omg that mazda is beautiful. If only it had a standard transmission? Do drivers in Japan usually buy MT transmissions?

KakerMix posted:Like everdave says most GTs are automatic. There aren't many Cosmos at all that show up, that's the 4th? Maybe? I've ever seen at auction since I started. Always gorgeous though. If you do you have to give a trip report. I know most GT cars are auto in the states but I figured it might be different in Japan. Also it's especially sad because automatic transmission from that era were pretty mushy  I guess you could always swap it?

BlackMK4 posted:It's funny you mention that because there is a Mako-ish rep up now. I'm not a big fan of the hood or the rear bumper. Still very nice though. It's so tempting to buy another s13 but my USDM 88 300zx is literally sitting on bricks in my best friend's mom's driveway so I don't think I could really justify it until I at least move that thing somewhere else lol.

KakerMix posted:I have not tried to reset the stereo though I'm not even sure how I'd do it anyway, have to look into it. I'm in ATL. I just found your ad and I can not afford the AZ-1 although I would love to buy it. It is minty af and the pictures on the ad are great. I was wondering if you were trying to sell any of the Jimneys

KakerMix posted:Yeah we have the 92 dark blue/purple one up for sale right now and we're waiting on the Rugger and Bongo to be delivered before we have the state send out their inspector to get the other gray Jimny with the sick 90s decals on the side up for sale. Jesus... Did a company preform the conversion or was this someone's project? Also are they on the Sarasota are CL? I probably can't afford those cars either but I have a friend that has been looking for a Jimny/Rugger for awhile (and he has more money than I do).

KakerMix posted:I'd have to assume it's a company that does the conversions, Toyota was cool back then but not that cool. I just found your listen and the write up is very good. It is very tempting but I don't need to be spending that kind of money lol. I'll pass it along to my friends that like imports though since we're (sort of) close geographically. Also I have to ask, do you own any minidiscs for that head unit? Also I love the gauges on the center dash.

KakerMix posted:No Minidiscs, but the headunit itself works, just gently caress-all you can do with a Japanese-radio-specific unit. Those center gauges are stock too, and the clock works. I think the Wild Wind package means you get those. If you are truly interested I can always do a Goon Discount™ so just let me know. Ah bummer - you should get some minidiscs off ebay or something. I would love to just see how a minidisc headunit works (I'm young and have never seen one IRL outside of car shows). I am interested in it but it's gonna be a good year or so before I can justify a purchase like that. I really need to save money. I actually saw a Crown Wagon of a similar vintage on i85 driving through downtown Atlanta the other day. Gave him the thumbs up lol

everdave posted:It depends I was surprised the Surf went for what it did (expected higher). Yeah it looks great. It's hard to find good smaller Japanese trucks in the states these days. If you want a decent truck you have to get something big or put in some work on a old Nissan given how loving horrible the ford ranger is.

Lord of Garbagemen posted:Please remember that for the most part insurance quotes are not comparable, you have to factor in state of residence, record, credit score, type of car, and a whole bunch of other poo poo. I'm young and don't know what you mean by "get a broker"? Are there people that you can hire to get you lower auto insurance rates? I honestly have no idea what I'm doing because I'm a poo poo head kid.

Omg look at those pods coming out of the stalks. Isuzu always held the title for second weirdest Japanese auto manufacturer in my book (Subaru being the first obv).

BuckyDoneGun posted:2 doors best doors? I love the trooper so much. My dad bought his the month I was born. I rode in it everywhere and even learned to drive in it. I was looking at them like 2 years ago and was shocked when I realized that it had no airbags... Don't know why I always assumed it did. The vehicross is too weird for me but that AWD "power distribution" thing on the dash is really neat (that and the early backup camera). I was so sad when it got Cash for Clunkered Also asking for a friend, what are Honda Accord Aerodecks going for these days? I noticed on bring a trailer that one sold for around $7k back in 2020 but I imagine they're probably considerably more expensive these days?
